Building report sections...
Step 4 of 5 -- Report
Review each section and copy into FastField
How to use this screen:

Each section of the methodology is shown below with a draft narrative written from your notes.

Orange border = section needs your attention (no observations were recorded).
Green border = you have marked this section as complete.

For each section:
1. Read the narrative and check it accurately reflects what you observed.
2. If anything is missing or wrong, type a correction in the box below the narrative and click Regenerate -- your existing text will be kept and the new detail added.
3. A blue Something to consider prompt may appear -- this is just a helpful reminder to think about something, not a requirement.
4. Click Copy Relevant Information to copy the text and paste it into the correct FastField section.
5. Once you are happy with a section, click Mark Section Complete.

When all narratives are done, use the Identify Findings button at the bottom of each section to generate findings for that section.
